Throwback Thursday

I can't believe it's been 13 years since I worked for the Humane Society of North Texas. Wow! And 13 years ago this big guy joined our family after I fostered him for a couple of months. 

His name was Hoss. His owner had abandoned him at our shelter because he was heart-worm positive. I am thankful my family was able to provide a loving home for this wonderful dog and he remained with us until he crossed Rainbow Bridge. Even though he had gone through heart-worm treatment, his heart was weak and he succumbed to cardiac arrest 11 months afterwards. He was such a big baby and a great dog.

Gosh, I miss this place!! Spaghetti Warehouse was known for occupying historic buildings and this one was located in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards. They had the best sourdough bread and butter, and the most tasty spaghetti and meatballs! LOL! My parents would take me and my nephew here all the time when we were growing up. We loved eating in the trolley car.

Top pic is of our Homecoming trailer in October of 2012.
 

Today the sirens started going off and it kinda freaked me out. I made it to the front door and out onto the porch to see the Homecoming Parade coming down our street. In all the years that my daughter was in cheer, the parade NEVER took this route down our street. Of course, both my kids are not little anymore and have both graduated from highschool. But it definitely brought back memories for both of us as we stood on the front porch waving, especially to the cheerleaders.  😊 Go Lions! LOL!

 

Thankful Thursday and #TBT

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I have missed the last few! 😊

 

 

I have tons of things to be Thankful for, but today - I am so pleased and thankful that my husband found a grinding bit to grind the socket down he needs in order to replace a part on our dryer. It took forever and a day for the part to get here, and then the socket didn't fit. We even ordered the right size.

Kudos to all the people out there that have to visit the laundromat weekly. It is indeed a huge undertaking. We have been having to make at least two trips a week to dry clothes. We really don't know how easy we have some things in life until they become unavailable.

#TBT

I have been working on my website today and remaking a few of the pages. I sure do miss this doggo. We lost Bo five years ago this past August. The neighbors we had for several years moved away. Their dog Deifer, and Bo, used to run the fenceline together. We would call Diefer the "weather" dog because he could predict the forecast better than our weathermen! LOL! If he was out throwing his pan around, weather was moving in. Diefer passed away a while back. It hasn't been the same since.

 Gosh, they were so little!!! Hard to believe they are 19, 21, and 17 now.

Today marks seven years since the hubby walked through the door with this little guy. I had said I didn't want anymore animals. But the kids fell in love with this pup, and Zac became part of our family, sharing his Valentine's Day Birthday with our beloved GS, Bo.

Throwback Thursday - Winter Storm

Winter Storm 10 years ago. I live in Texas, but on those rare random occasions, we get it. Not like some of you get it, but we do get it every now and then. LOL.

 

In the next week, we are set to have some more of this type of weather come through, and so many are not even going to know what hit them.

Throwback Thursdays

 I love ships. All kinds of ships - from galleons to ocean liners. My favorite ocean liner is the RMS Titanic. This photo was taken on the way to Grand Cayman in July of 2007. Being out on the open water is so calming and beautiful.

I have always loved ducks. I think I was 16 years old when this pic was taken.

Fishing with Derp and Misty

Feeling nostalgic. I really miss DC's Prison (Jail) server. My kids introduced me to this Minecraft server and we played here four years. Two resets (one because of a server hack) and tension between the owner and Admins and now the server is no more. I sure miss some of the guys I used to hang out with, especially Derp, Tiger, Misty and Carey, and my girl Sof! 😥 Hope they are all doing well out there!

Happy New Year!!! Cheers to 2021! - Throwback Thursdays

 

Here's to a better year, and a throwback!

This pic was taken Christmas morning in 2013. Bo got a new rope toy. 🙂

 Oh how I miss our Bo! 😢 

Throwback Thursdays

 

It has been fourteen years since I lost this beautiful woman I called mom. I sure do miss her.

Not a day goes by that I do not think of this woman. Her smile. Her laughter. Her sadness. This picture was taken on Tanner's 4th Birthday at our house. He is now 20 years old. Time passes too quickly. Cherish it and hold it dear.

 Cousins! Wow. It's so hard to believe that one just turned 19 and the other is getting ready to turn 17 in two months. 😭 Where has time gone?

Throwback Thursdays

Throwback Thursday or TBT is a social-media trend when users, on Thursdays, post photographs or recollections of the past under the #throwbackthursday, #tbt, or #throwback hashtags. My first TBT - me holding one of my ducks as a little girl. I raised ducks and a chicken when I was younger.
